Which do you want to break first, the u-joint (1310) or the ring gear (1350)?
If you're breaking either, you need to upgrade both. That way you don't break anything.

How much lift are you installing and what is the extended length of the front shocks?

If you don't have a FAD, and you want 6* of caster or so up front, a 1350 joint will probably give you vibrations. The 1310 has a larger window of happy.

If your shocks aren't 28" or longer, don't replace your driveshaft, spend the money elsewhere.
I guarantee you're going to break the Rzeppa joint at those angles. You need to replace it with something.

Going to go with a Carolina Driveline driveshaft, not sure if they have the Rzeppa issues licked.

I have wheeled mine a ton on the rocks. I have a Clayton 3.5 and the 3" lift fox 2.0s. My front shocks are over 28 extended. The flange on my rzeppa is mushroomed everywhere, but it's still kicking after 30k miles.
